home and also there you can watch all the episodes of the week illegals are running to you program that was broadcast on r c including the one where he talks to ecuador and president himself. there hasn't been a thing yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. the source material is what helps keep journalism. we wanted to present. something of. a long lasting conflict between israel and the palestinians continues with new evidence of children in the front line testimonies of soldiers and a shocking video how they separated a mother from her daughter in a small palestinian village have taken the strive to a new level policy have

a pulse now from tell of their. there were demonstrations as indeed there are if we weekend now be silent which is a palestinian village in footage that was captured on camera these soldiers can be seen going from house to house and physically taking people out of their homes one person was injured at least six people were arrested five of whom were children and there are pictures of the daughters of one woman trying to save their mother as she was manhandled by the soldiers who were stun grenades now these reports come hot on the heels of another damning conclusion the israeli defense forces has come under fire from its own rank and file an organization known as breaking the silence has published the testimonies of some thirty israeli soldiers and commanders and which they deal specifically with how the i.d.f. treats palestinian children palestinian minors they talk about the opportunity of violence by soldiers when it comes to children and at the same time they say that

very often the idea of dinner perky targets children using them as human shields during its operations but these reports also going to say that even when children are not deliberately targeted they are not afforded any kind of protection when there is a shootout or any kind of military operation as you can witness from that distance that we published and from my own experiences as a soldier i have to say that the main point here is that there is there is no real distinction when it comes to treatment between adults and children for example we were doing constant arrest operations throughout the west bank arresting i don't know how many people you know on a nightly basis and many of the people that we were arresting were either children or teenagers did in most occasions we didn't even know why they were being arrested in one of the raid operations to it we had to basically invaded the palestinian town south of the city of hebron the children started throwing stones at us so it's on point we picked a random kid that didn't even necessarily threw stones at us and used him as

a shoe. it distorted it will being thrown by his friends or by his supposed friends who did him instead of us we were hoping that that would stop him somehow that would stop his friends from throwing stones obviously didn't help him he just got injured in the in the occasion so certainly not a good time for the i.d.f. it's finding a been criticized on a number of friends policy r.t. television. and this brings us to the case of pro palestinian us our service to rachel corrie was crushed by an israeli army bulldozer in two thousand and three the twenty three year old was taking part in a demonstration trying to stop palestinian homes from being destroyed in gaza haifa court ruled that israel was not at fault a journalist tom dale who witnessed cora's death claims israel was trying to sway the incident under the rug. it's tremendously disappointing on the basis of what i saw on that day in two thousand and three it's absolutely not possible to

characterize what happened as an accident in my view so i told the coach and as i told the israeli military investigation before that bulldozer driver had a very long drive up. before he got to rachel during which time he must have been able to see even on the basis of the shots presented to the court by the threat of military. head was visible above the top of the boulder sublight just before she was crushed and she commented on amount of trying to escape so in my mind that absolutely no doubt that he would have seen on this but it represents a want what happened on that day a culture in the israeli military contingency such crimes and that culture impunity is the silly tainted fortunately sometimes by the courts who deliberately turn a blind eye of course the main shoulders on which. palestinian shoulders because

it's full of civilians almost every area civilian and so the israeli government to say we refuse to treat anyone in this area especially given that human rights because we've given it this particular name. coachmen treasonable happy to me i think that's just me serving that responsibility. this week iran was of the sun told the global political stage showing the despite economic sanctions and why it spread vilification it's not as isolated as largely believed to negations from a one hundred states gathered in teheran for the nonaligned movement summit and the work of nations who don't consider themselves part of any panel blog dozens of country leaders attended including egypt's new elected president mohamed morsi first visit to iran by an egyptian head of state says the nineteen seventy nine islamic revolution the significance of the meeting was also underlined by the presence of the un chief who came despite being discouraging him of doing science

and independent research. explain the sound about a hole in the region the one. just a blanket moon does recognize the fact and he has said so this. player in the region and nothing much really can be solved. participation i'm sure that the united states and israel like. to come down hard on iran but he's also aware of the flag there's two thirds of the countries that belong to the united nations are member countries of the nine aligned group united. and i think that's precisely because they do tend to be very aggressive in their foreign policy towards certain countries in particular although i think they have the whole goal in my love to be a global vision monic power. the nonaligned movement now is one hundred percent

coming together to resist this kind of action to resist this kind of double standards and hypocrisy and i think that's probably really thinking of the united states this finds. so this summit in tehran resulted in a declaration stating every nation's right to peaceful development and he said nuclear energy seen as a bonking of iran's controversial nuclear program came just as a new report by the un at home of course of the match to accusing the islamic state of stepping up its uranium enrichment political analyst eric draitser the timing of their bodies shows the i.a.s. anything but unbiased be a rainy ins first of all they believe that they have the inherent right according to the nuclear nonproliferation treaty that they have the right to have a nuclear program so long as it's for peaceful purposes as is now accepted international law the united states and israel too to a large extent are terribly embarrassed about the fact that the nonaligned movement summit has gone off as

a tremendous success and the fact that many around the world are seeing the n.a.m. summit as really iran's coming out party in terms of geopolitics in terms of their position on the world stage and so the timing of the report i think is is in fact dubious and i would go further and remind people that the. a in many ways is part of what the leader in iran called the overt dictatorship of the united nations that is to say that the i.a.e.a. is always led by us produced think tank individuals like eldora di or his predecessors who will inevitably execute the agenda of the western powers regardless of whether that contravenes international law. you're watching r.t. and still ahead figure this out with a history of flip flopping on political issues u.s. republican presidential nominee and the treadmill is becoming more the punch line that clear frontrunner for the white house. so later fears of radical

islam spread throughout russia after a series of attacks in muslim leaders who preached against extremist r.a.t.'s. britain's high court has given the verdict this week in one of the most expensive bottles in legal history. russian tycoon. has lost a multibillion dollar play against his fellow countryman abramovich the chelsea football club owner the months long standoff between the two oligarchs living in the u.k. scandalous accusations of greed and design a city. takes a closer look at the case the final verdict in this case found against the bodies of the results which means that he won't receive a cent all the more than five point six billion dollars that he was asking for more which i don't but i want to promote himself was not in court was he a relieved looking very upbeat saying that he had full confidence in the british legal system it was the verdict was being read he held his head in his hands and as

he was leaving he appears to have lost confidence in the british legal system now this is a case that has opened up all the viewing of the general public the murky world of russia's mega rich and what they got up to back in the nineteen ninety's the wild east as we called it back then we're talking about massive sums of money off shore bank accounts elicit payments made between people often in massive sums of cash and there are of course five star hotels and ski resorts and enormous business deals done only on the strength of the handshake with new documentation which of course has made this case a very difficult one to judge is brought to a long. to school building billionaires along with their own maker expensive lawyers and bodyguards who walked around this area in their shades in a menacing way but he's got his old ski says that he was done out of billions of

dollars when he says that promote it intimidated him into selling shares in russian metals and oil companies for a fraction of what they were but abramovich says that in fact he would never like business partners that he was making payments to but is also key but they were only for political protection. roof in russian which has become a common collins in the legal circles here in london as a result of this case is that he did make regular payments to put his old ski up full of political protection but he says that they weren't anything to do with the partnership they were often made into huge cash sums up to five million dollars hundred for in cash and totaling several hundred million dollars he says that he paid for but is also key to travel in a private jet that he bought him a french chateau and he also bought him jewelry for his girlfriend but as he wanted five point six billion dollars on top of the one point two billion that he received

back in two thousand and two from which this is being one of the biggest civil trials ever held in british legal history it's been hundreds of hours and resulted in millions of dollars worth of legal fees so we've heard the results of this case . when for better this time around we may see more cases of this nature here in london. so after losing fortunes during a high cost lawsuit some russian tycoons could use advice from a list class chinese bond to uphold that premium status sound that on our website at. least in terms of dollars to make a trade come true that how a chinese all this to try to actually supports. it. mindgames chinese scientists close the gap between the man and the machine by inventing controlled.

us presidential candidates matronly criticized current president barack obama for his handling of foreign affairs at the republican national convention this week his coleman's could be worse and for other nations as america's presidential election approaches romney has a history of flip flopping on issues though so it's hard to tell what his message will be coming november he's got an edge to can explain. mitt romney is now officially barack obama's opponent for the white house and he's talking tough throwing rocks well verbal rocks not only the president but also nations at the republican convention where he accepted his nomination mr romney did not fail to once again highlight his any maasai towards russia he criticized the president for not being hard enough in his view on russia when it comes to missile defense mitt romney says under his administration quote mr putin will see less flexibility and

more backbone end of quote and of course that adds up to his earlier statements that russia is america's number one geopolitical enemy and that they need to reset the reset that's actually what he says on his website as part of mitt romney's foreign policy agenda so yes a lot of tough talk i heard experts say that's how mitt romney makes up for a lack of charisma what's interesting about the backbone comment is that mitt romney himself is often characterized as lacking the backbone as he has flip flopped on so many issues like abortion he was for abortion before he was against it or illegal immigration he was for giving them legal status that he was for deporting them mitt romney is flip flops have been widely discussed they've become an endless source of inspiration for comedians this is this is from the tonight show with jay leno it says actually mitt romney and hurricane isaac have something

in common they can both change directions that any moment and another comedian goes obama is like you can be whatever you want to be while romney is like i can be whatever you want me to be there are tons of jokes about mitt romney and his backbone issues apparently one way of showing some backbone for him is this kind of tough talk full of threats we'll see how far it will take him in this november election. so with the two party system in the us some voters feel they aren't left with much of a choice later this hour also andrew levin shares what he sees as they are pros of america's electoral system but here's a preview. at the level of underlying political vision or underlying political orientation there isn't that much difference romney would probably be perfectly happy doing what obama does we have a media which is softer all the control and. all the institutions that manufacture

opinion are so pervasive and our electoral system has become basically like an advertising it's become a sales promotions they're a brand and there are people trying to sell different products one of two products . and it's. a pressure that not all it's not so much of the pressure the tardiness is the pressure that most people work most people aren't even aware that there is an alternative. and let's now take a look at some other stories making news around the war at least a dozen people are dead after a double suicide bombing near a military base in central afghanistan more than seventy others were injured the taliban said it sent out two bombers one driving a truck packed with explosives and the other on foot. protests against the early release of the accomplice and ex-wife of

a notorious child killer and paedophile have ended in scuffles with police the demonstrations took place outside a convent where michel martin has been sent after serving just over a jail sentence the woman was sentenced to thirty years in prison for letting two girls starve to death in the cellar while helping her husband mark to truth carry out sexual abuses and other girls. also a seven share muslims have been shot dead in the city of quetta in pakistan police say gunmen on motorcycles forced the group off a bus and shot five of them two survivors tried to run away but were clashed chased down and killed that is the latest in a wave of sectarian violence in pakistan has shared groups groups blame the government for failing to hold the bloodshed. russia is a triscuit facing a wave of islamic radicalism after a drug astonied muslim spiritual leader was assassinated in his house on tuesday a female suicide bomber enters the cleric's home disguised as

a program and blew herself up this comes in the wake of last month's double assault in muslim figures in the republic of tatarstan some experts believe the roots of extremism lead all the way to the middle east the government must still be very cautious on how it treats the spread of radicalization as painting all muslims with one brush could drive people into the hands of the islamic he goes for ports. the trip to work that turned to tragedy that our stance had moved he was driving when a series of blasts threw him from his car the man who's been openly against the spread of radical ideas among believers survived to find out his deputy was shot dead in another part of town investigators still don't know the exact motivation behind the attack but the spotlight is now on the other stun most people here are muslim and that gets mentioned more and more when it comes to the spread of radical islam in russia yes some of the local muslim communities are financed by arab

families from states where wacko business is an official religion on the got the money has to be worked off and they demand their ideology is spread here it's. like a business is one of the most fundamental branches of islam it's strongly advocated in saudi arabia which backs it up with billions of dollars of support across the muslim world its followers often oppose all other religions sometimes even calling for jihad holy war against them but abysmal or any other radical movement of us lot of course not part of the official religion here but i thought the same different ideas often taught in small mosques hidden from the mainstream. like this one form a boiler house rebuilt into a mosque in one of gazans many apartment blocks they aren't it's a mom's denying being radical but admit they do not support their stance of visual branches of islam and we don't divide brother muslims and there can be no

radicalism no terrorism these are words only used by prove a kidders who want to discredit as. we were told here believers are taught sincerely any quality there are no longer up held in modern society look at with justice can only be achieved through islam when someone says islam is the only fan way of life and social order they're called radical or extremist and what's the punishment for stealing the hand is. not the kind of punishment you'd find in russia's criminal code nevertheless such ideas are reportedly gaining more support among young muslims for some experts it could be partly to blame on how the list of banned extremist literature was thrown together. often in books by classical world famous authors have banned or even some of prophet muhammad saints how can we expect muslims to react and of course the radicals use this to gain influence.

of course start their stand is a long way from becoming engulfed by the war stuff radical islam how the state reacts to the spread of extremism is now key the wrong moves could only resource in the situation you've got this kind of r d that our son. to stay with elsie upper back with a recap of this week's top stories in just a few moments. there

clouds childhood was all rachet all by this tragedy. they still feel the fear they faced. and remember every second of the slightness. it will remain in their memories and hearts forever. and as you saw. innocent. a little angel on our cheek. if you. are going to take three. four. three. three. two three.

three bloggers in video for your media project a free media god our t.v. dot com. welcome back saucy these are the stories that this week western nations rather pop calls for military intervention in syria in order to protect refugees that face criticism for aiming to help on the rebels who's fighting tactics are accused of being the finds. true then i might have to stand from six months to get adequate door an embassy in london they whistle blower makes of small cars during a rain to insane hoax call a diplomatic resolution to the standoff it's. also no longer an outcast iran

refuse from its of its international isolation by hosting a high profile summit attended by leaders and senior politicians from a hundred countries despite opposition from. only gods russian business tycoon and roman abramovich wins in a multi-billion dollar bottle which by low country man varies varies all state a london court in a case full of accusations of days he didn't read. up next to discuss the upcoming u.s. presidential election on the troubles with america's political system was also live in. we're sitting down with an author a professor of philosophy and currently a senior scholar at the institute for policy studies and your living thank you very much for joining back you thought of writing me you contributed to a book it's titled hopeless barack obama and the politics of illusion what was the

illusion in your opinion and how did it get hopeless well obama of course campaigned on the idea of hope and the possibility of change but he was skillful in turning himself into something like a rorschach figure which anyone could see whatever they wanted to see changes were not certainly ruptures with the past. and they dashed at the expectations of virtually every constituency that supported him because they envisioned. transformations of american domestic and foreign policy that were far more far reaching than what obama actually. even attempted let alone achieved as far as foreign policy you're writing that president obama's wars could come back to bite him even the ones he didn't start but which you argue are his by now he pledged to

withdraw from iraq and afghanistan he says that's what he doing in what way could they bite him well they could all fall apart. in effect the united states lost both of those wars even before obama assumed office but the imperative that obama faced which was also the imperative that george bush faced in his final years was not to lose face i'd like you to expend a little bit on afghanistan you argue that ghana stand in particular certainly into a face saving operation for the president how is he handling that. well to the extent that he can develop a consensus in the political class in the united states to get out as soon as possible which seems to be happening not particularly through his own initiatives he will get out but unless that develops he is going to happen is going to have to be a continued presence there of some sort which is going to continue to wreak murder and mayhem and not to achieve any of the official objectives that the united states

put forward in entering into that conflict in the first place if that explodes then obama will look bad because the united states will look weak and it will look to it will look defeated and that will and that's not a recipe for success for someone who has worked on an electoral campaign aside from the wars already on the u.s. plate you wrote that by far the biggest bullet for president obama to dodge is a war against iran do you think it might actually happen i mean experts even in the was government say so crazy idea. well it looks now like obama has dodged that bullet at least until november by basically by but by buying off israel with our arms what do you think about the president's approach with regards to iran when he's trying to cater to to everybody in a way to the israelis by saying that he would be ready to go to war and to

everybody else by saying that he actually doesn't like the drums of war and there's still a chance for diplomacy to work i think the result is that although he maybe have succeeded in avoiding the war between now and the election and maybe even afterwards one could hope the rationale for the war remains intact and so the past so the danger that some events could transpire which would lead to which would reignite the danger and maybe even lead to what to look at the eruption of the war remains real and obama hasn't effectively addressed that issue i think this is an instance of a general problem with obama's presidency and it's partly why it's very hard for anyone any of obama's supporters to come up with any reason for. it for supporting him especially for supporting him enthusiastically in the upcoming election other than that the alternative is so much worse. because whatever

he's accomplished that could not on balance be given up. a plus it's always in cumbered by negatives that are very nearly cancel cancel out the benefits the contenders for the republican nomination they have a pretty scary rhetoric when it comes to foreign affairs everyone minus ron paul they don't seem to have words political solution in there with capillary right and yet you called president obama the most hawkish of the lot why well who's the most hawkish of the lot with respect to some issues there not with respect to to all issues his position on afghanistan. is at least momentarily probably more hawkish than that of mitt romney they they are.
